The atmosphere in the box gradually became harmonious, and Lin Hai asked questions that he had not had time to ask.

"Utada-chan, how did you and Fukada-san meet?"

"Call me Hikki. Hikaru Utada corrected Lin Hai's title, and Kyoko Fukada next to him also nodded and said, "Everyone is friends, don't be so polite!"

"Okay, Hikki, Kyoko, you've known each other before?"

"Nope. Hikaru Utada said embarrassedly: "Actually, I just returned to Japan, and I got lost at Shinjuku Station before, and I happened to meet Kyoko, and it was really thanks to her at that time......"

"I see. ”

Lin Hai nodded, and turned to Kyoko Fukada: "Do you often come to Shinjuku Station?"

Kyoko Fukada said distressedly: "I can't help it, only there, can I get rid of that annoying guy......"

"Nasty guy?" Lin Hai remembered what Hikaru Utada said when he first entered the door, so he asked, "You have been harassed lately?"

"yes. Kyoko Fukada said angrily: "That person is so hateful, he has been following me, not only tracking, but also secretly taking pictures of me......"

"Is it a fan or a paparazzi?"

"It's the paparazzi. ”

"No wonder ......"

Lin Hai understood why Kyoko was covering so tightly. If you're an avid fan, you can call the police for help – of course, under normal circumstances, unless the artist's life is severely harassed, it would not be easy to do so.

However, if you change to the paparazzi, there is no way.

There are a large number of paparazzi in Tokyo, and they have a strong sense of "anti-reconnaissance", and they come and go without a trace, like the legendary flower thief. In the face of these people, the police have always had a headache, catch it, it is difficult to catch, and even if it is caught, it will only be more troublesome to deal with.

The reason why the paparazzi are difficult to deal with is that they usually have legal identities – such as street photographers, freelancers, etc., and their actions are somewhere between legal and illegal, and a reason for "street shopping" can be prevaricated.

In addition, most of the paparazzi have gangster backgrounds, and some are even informants trained by the police, except for some stunned young people who have just joined the police force, there are really not many police officers who are willing to shoot them.

The police threw rat bogeys, and the paparazzi naturally became more and more rampant. In recent years, the harassment of artists by paparazzi has become more and more serious, and even many artists have finally chosen to quit the entertainment industry because they are unbearable.

It sounds scary, but if you think about it by changing positions, the paparazzi are also trying to make a living, as long as the artists cooperate to give some sweetness, most of the paparazzi will not be stalked.

After all, whose time is not time?

Lin Hai decided to teach Kyoko Fukada some ways to deal with the paparazzi, as long as the pulse is right, the paparazzi can also become the help of the artist.

After listening to Lin Hai, Kyoko Fukada said helplessly: "I know what you said, but that paparazzi is different." DO YOU KNOW BUBKA?"

Lin Hai nodded.

BUBKA IS A VULGAR ENTERTAINMENT MAGAZINE. This magazine has long used the private life photos of female artists as a selling point, and in order to get all kinds of "sexy" photos, it can be said that it is useless, not only violating the privacy of female artists, but sometimes damaging the reputation of artists because of unwarranted rumors.

Listening to Kyoko Fukada mention "BUBKA", Lin Hai's memory gradually came alive.

When he first arrived in Tokyo in his last life, a Japanese friend had privately shared his collection of "BUBKA" with him, and soon after, the magazine was completely outraged by publishing Okuna Megumi's spring photos, and was jointly sued by dozens of female artists......

It is unknown whether "BUBKA" will pay compensation in the end, but judging from the fact that it "lived" longer than Lin Hai, the outcome of that lawsuit may not be satisfactory.

Speaking of which, that lawsuit seems to be led by Kyoko Fukada?

Because of the long time, Lin Hai doesn't remember it clearly, but Kyoko Fukada has been fighting against this kind of magazine for many years, and he knows it.

For example, in 2010, Kyoko Fukada led Haruka Ayase, AKB48 and many other female artists to sue Tokyo Kasakura Publishing House, and the lawsuit was huge, and finally ended with a public apology from the publishing house. Most of the similar lawsuits that broke out after that were led by Kyoko Fukada and represented the plaintiff.

This silly chick......

Although she felt that she was used as a gun, her daring still made people feel good about her.

……

Kyoko Fukada is well-known for her good popularity in the Japanese entertainment industry. Even when she was controversial, there were still many friends who stood up to support her, especially the younger generation of female artists, who regarded her as the "eldest sister".

However, at present, Kyoko has not grown to the point of "commanding the group of females", and she seems a little helpless in the face of harassment by vulgar magazines.

Lin Hai didn't have a good way either.

Japanese female artists have always been obedient, and when their own interests are violated, most of them will choose to settle things, and the current "BUBKA" has not yet made people angry, at this time, let Kyoko take legal measures to defend her rights, that is not to help her, but to harm her.

In fact, until 20 years later, Kyoko Fukada is still the target of malicious smears by some media, and most of the negative "news" (many of which are rehashes of old words) that seem to be conclusive at first glance are spread by the enemies she has provoked on the road to defending her rights.

Thinking about it, it's not easy for her. If you change to someone with a poor psychological quality, even if you don't collapse, you will already retreat.

Lin Hai looked at this girl who was stupid on the outside, but actually strong on the inside, and he didn't feel a little more spoiled in his eyes.

The change in Lin Hai's eyes made Kyoko Fukada feel hairy, her eyes dodged, picked up the songbook and ran to the jukebox, pretending to be calm and playing haha-

"You are not allowed to grab the microphone with me, it's rare to come to KTV, this time I want to sing happily!"

……

Kyoko Fukada has also received music training since she was a child, but from a professional point of view, Lin Hai's singing voice is only good, far from outstanding. Lin Hai really wanted to listen to Hikaru Utada sing, but he couldn't mention it at this time, otherwise the two girls would feel embarrassed.

Lin Hai and Hikaru Utada chatted with each other, and the topic was mainly focused on the latter.

Hikaru Utada is one year younger than Lin Hai and was born in Manhattan, USA. (In order to save water, and the reading sense of the three-character surname is poor, in the future, in order to avoid misreading, the abbreviation will be used as much as possible)

Hikari's father, Terumi Utada, was a composer who had collaborated with Jean Hisaishi, moved to the United States to set up a studio after marriage, and after the birth of his daughter, he formed the family band U3 (meaning "Utada's three-dimensional"), and recorded with his wife as the lead singer.

Terumi Utada is a low-key person who is rarely exposed in the media, and after her daughter's debut, she only acted as her producer and agent, and did not interfere in her songwriting.

Compared with "Daddy Zhaoshi", Light's mother is more famous.

Hikari's mother, Junko Utada (stage name Keiko Fuji), was a popular singer in Japan in the 60s and 70s, and won the Oricon album chart for 37 consecutive weeks with her two albums, which is unprecedented in the history of the chart.

Hikaru Utada, who grew up in such a family, has shown extraordinary musical talent since he was a child, but just as the Chinese can't eat in the Japanese music scene, the Japanese are also struggling in American orchestras.

Speaking of his experience in the United States, Hikari's tone was full of grievances.

"Actually, I wanted to return to China for a long time, and although I was a contracted singer of EMI in the United States, I didn't get attention at all there...... The records released by U3 over the years did not sell well, and my mother had to return to Japan often to support the family, and our family's life was actually much worse than outsiders imagined......"

Lin Hai was silent.

What the girl said, he hadn't experienced before. Being a stranger in a foreign land, the sourness of it, how can it be said in a few words.

Probably out of trust in Lin Hai, the girl said a lot of things that were not known to outsiders, such as her parents had divorced many times.

These things were no secret later, but Lin Hai did not interrupt the other party, but patiently became a listener.

After talking for a long time, the girl realized that something was wrong, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned these unpleasant things......"

"Nothing. ”

Lin Hai waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Then what made you make the decision to return to China?"

Guang pursed his lips and glared at Lin Hai, not sure if the other party really didn't know, or pretended to be confused.

Although he was a little embarrassed in his heart, Hikari generously stated the reason.

"It's because I listened to your music......"

The girl's eyes were misty, and she fell into memory.

"You don't know, EMI (USA) used to arrange for me to dance with other singers, but I was really not good at dancing, and when I stood on the stage, I didn't even know where to put my hands and feet...... I love singing, my dream is to be a singer, not a clown!" The girl became emotional: "After listening to your music, I know that I can't go on like this, since I can't break free from the shackles, then I might as well stay away!"

When the girl said this, she stopped to look at Lin Hai and asked, "I chose to escape, will you look down on me?"

Lin Hai didn't answer her question, but asked rhetorically, "Will it be very unwilling?"

"Of course!"

The girl nodded heavily, and then said firmly: "One day I will go back and conquer there with my music!"

"I'm sure you'll be able to do it. ”

Lin Hai's tone was full of affirmation.

He said this not only to cheer up the girl, but also to himself.

In a sense, although the achievements of Lin Hai and Hikaru Utada in their previous lives are very different, they are also "losers", and they both fell on the way to challenge the windmill.

What do you say "the process is more important than the result"? That's just an excuse for losers!

Thinking of this, Lin Hai felt that the blood in his body was burning.

He stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Why wait until the future, since you are not reconciled, go and prove it to them now!"

"How?" the girl stood up, her eyes shining.

"I'm going to record a song. Lin Hai paused for a moment, and then asked, "Are you interested in working with me?"
